    WiFi jammers reportedly being used by South American criminal gangs in their burglaries

    Repurposed doorbell cam becomes “boiler cam”

    Nice job repurposing the doorbell cam. Check the Home Automation sub-forum for ideas on adding a water level sensor for the bucket.

    The Typical picture of a Perp on Nextdoor-type Apps with Consumer Grade Cameras like Ring, Nest, Arlo, Canary, Wyze, etc.

    License plate capture on private driveway

    Another thought is to check with map companies and see if they consider your neighbors driveway as a public road. I recall a couple threads on here about messed up maps and directions creating issues for home and property owners. One guy had Amazon vehicles driving across his lawn to get to...

    License plate capture on private driveway

    Has your neighbor contacted the local LE/city hall about the trespassing and garbage? They may have suggestions or advice regarding signs and specific wording, especially what LE can/will enforce. Naturally, results will vary depending on the type of LE and their level of concern, but at...

    Amazon Driver hits my pole

    I guess hitting the post is better than hitting the house. Wow.

    Random things seen by cameras

    ^^^ Yes, that's it! I loved it too. And some of the behind the scenes videos on his Ogervision channel. I thought the Drumbeats was familiar. I just spent a couple hours re-watching videos.

    Random things seen by cameras

    Thanks! It sounded a bit like the music on a YT channel that featured illegally parked vehicles getting towed from the parking lot of an IT business. And yes I watched most if not all of the videos, especially when the owner added sounds and improved his video editing skills. Amazing to see...

    Yeah, the camera angle is the reason for no plate info...:blankstare:

    2.5 vs 1 gbit Ethernet nic

    The 2.5Gb might be useful longer than a 1Gb nic, depending on your future network needs, especially if the cost is comparable as @Underhill mentioned. Do you foresee a need to transfer large amounts of data from your BI PC to somewhere else? A 2.5Gb nic may help reduce transfer times...

    Consumer based wireless mesh systems

    One issue with some mesh systems is slower wi-fi speeds if the backhaul/backbone is wireless, and does not have a dedicated wireless channel etc. to sync the nodes. The mesh system will then use some of the bandwidth, which adds to the traffic and reduces what is available to the users...

    A moment of Dads burial today

    I'm glad to see there was an Honor Guard. Such an important duty, not just to honor one of our own who served, but also to the family.

    U.S. Postal Service will NO LONGER be accepting packages from China and Hong Kong

    In the last year or two I have noticed a large difference in price between Amazon and domestic suppliers for different items. I found I could order auto parts and pay shipping from online suppliers (RockAuto) for less than the free shipping from Amazon, and frequently the estimated delivery...

    Spider Webs Covering Outside Camera Lens

    Yup I'm definitely not a spring chicken. I had to look the dates up! The series ran from 1957-1963 which is a surprise to me. I saw the show in the 70's and didn't realize (or remember) it was re-runs. :(

    Help with networking decision

    Wouldn't remote troubleshooting work the same with a cabled or a wi-fi solution? Is there power at each of the current/proposed camera locations to support wi-fi cameras? You mentioned some of the CAT5 has UV damage, so consider better runs to keep the cabling inside the house. Is the rodent...

    Wall of shame

    Looks like the loop on the insulator is actually a preformed dead end grip for securing guy wires. BUT, it appears the grip is wrapped around one of the electrical wires? Unless there is a guy wire out of the frame. The grips have a grit inside the twists to hold the guy cable securely, so I...
